CHAPTER 2111: CHAPTER 2109: PHOENIX POISONOUS INSECT LEAVES THE BODY

After Feng Cheng finished speaking, he spat a mouthful of blood, dragging Bai Ruozhu to speed up desperately forward. This time, they headed in another direction, but there was still a Stone Lion. Bai Ruozhu already knew the method; she reached out with both hands to gouge the Stone Lion’s eyes, and the wide Main Gate was opened. The two of them rushed out simultaneously.

When the Stone Gate was closed, the Hurricane was still blowing and had already chased to the Main Gate. Fortunately, the Stone Gate fell, isolating the Hurricane.

Both of them did not look very well; they were almost caught by that monster. Bai Ruozhu was still somewhat frightened. She looked at Feng Cheng and asked, "Is there really no problem with this thing? Won’t it escape one day?"

Feng Cheng said with a solemn expression, "The current situation is not too optimistic. I may need to leave for a while."

"Go to find your people to report?" Bai Ruozhu’s tone was somewhat resistant; she did not like those people on Feng Cheng’s side. But thinking about Feng Cheng’s background, he was actually a person of this world.

Feng Cheng gave a bitter smile, "Sort of, and I also need to properly treat my injuries, otherwise I might not live for several more years."

Bai Ruozhu was shocked. She knew that the repercussions of the Forbidden Technique were very terrifying, but she thought it only caused Feng Cheng severe internal injuries. She never imagined it could endanger his life. Thinking back to his terrifying act of stabbing three Golden Needles into his Heavenly Cover, she should have anticipated it sooner.

Perhaps Feng Cheng had always been too mysterious and too powerful; she instinctively felt that he was omnipotent and might not die.

She nodded and said, "Go ahead, I won’t mention any secrets about either side to anyone."

She then took out a small Porcelain Bottle and tossed it to Feng Cheng, "Hope it helps you."

Feng Cheng opened it to see, surprisingly it was a bottle full of red pills. He nodded gratefully to Bai Ruozhu and then turned to disappear into the night.

Bai Ruozhu looked around in the darkness and found that there were no subordinates of the second elder guarding this place. She also wondered where her second brother and the others had gone, and whether they had managed to rescue those clan members held captive by the second elder.

She first entered the Space to take care of the three kids and, seeing that the time was about right, she then ventured out.

Just as she was considering whether to check around the clan’s Prison Cell, she suddenly noticed a signal emanating from the distant mountain. It was a signal she used to communicate with a few subordinates. She guessed Jianqi might be worried about not finding them and thus was occasionally sending out signals.

She followed the small path towards She Mountain, and after about half an hour, she finally found the place where the signal was being sent between the two mountains.

As soon as she appeared, someone asked in a low voice, "Who?"

This voice was too familiar; it was Jianqi’s voice!

Bai Ruozhu immediately said, "It’s me, where are the others?"

"The master is back!" Jianqi exclaimed with some excitement. He had a calm nature, and it was rare for him to be so excited. Because it was rather dark, no one noticed that his eyes were red. In fact, he had always felt guilty that day for not protecting his master well, but he knew he had to follow the master’s arrangement to protect the master’s family.

Hearing the commotion, the Bai Family hurried out. Bai Ruozhu saw that her parents, second brother, second sister-in-law, aunt, and the others were fine, which relaxed her heart a lot.

Lin Ping’er examined Bai Ruozhu up and down, "Ruozhu, are you hurt? What on earth was that thing? It was terrifying!"

Bai Ruozhu quickly said, "Mother, I’m okay. I was just hiding from that thing, afraid it might chase you, so I was delayed a bit. Did any of the captured clan members get rescued?"

Elder Su and the others also came out, sighed, and said, "No way, we tried once before but failed. A few people were captured by them, and in the end, we had to hide on this mountain."

Bai Ruozhu nodded and said, "Don’t worry, let’s plan slowly. As long as the second elder hasn’t killed all the clan members now, he probably needs to win over people, and wouldn’t be so extremely ruthless."

The Third Elder coldly snorted, "How is he not ruthless? He’s already sent his granddaughter to the Enlightenment Tablet."

"Fo Lanying went to the Enlightenment Tablet? If she already knows the second elder is going to use an Evil Technique on her, why would she still go?" Bai Ruozhu asked in surprise.

"That girl might be too proud and unwilling to accept otherwise," sighed the Third Elder.

Bai Ruozhu shook her head, thinking now that the second elder has already seized power, there shouldn’t be any need to let his granddaughter stand out like that, right? Why make her do such a dangerous thing?

After all, different people have different motives. If it were her family, they definitely wouldn’t let her take such risks for those vain reputations.

Bai Ruozhu looked around as most people were there, but she didn’t see Lanlan. She asked worriedly, "Have Lanlan and Chenfeng been found?"

Jiao Ling’s face was a bit off, "Lanlan is unconscious right now, and Chenfeng is recovering from wounds."

"What happened?" Bai Ruozhu felt a sense of foreboding.

But seeing there were many people nearby, Jiao Ling didn’t say much either, and Bai Ruozhu could only press down her doubts.

After confirming Bai Ruozhu was fine, everyone felt relieved. Since it was still late at night, they each returned to their places to continue resting.

Bai Ruozhu said a few words to her parents, then quietly pulled Jiao Ling aside and cautiously inquired about Lanlan’s situation.

Jiao Ling’s eyes reddened, and she choked up, saying, "When we escaped to the mountain, a large group of pursuers from the second elder caught up. Lanlan, in a moment of urgency to save us, let the Phoenix Poisonous Insect out. While it drove back the pursuers, she fainted after retracting it and hasn’t woken up since."

"What?" Bai Ruozhu quickly covered her mouth. She was really afraid that once the Phoenix Poisonous Insect came out, Lanlan would lose consciousness and be taken over by Wu Wanqing again.

Likewise, she was also afraid that someone with ulterior motives would discover the Phoenix Poisonous Insect and then keep a watch on Lanlan. The Jiuli Clan also has people who keep Poisonous Insects, and with high rewards in front, there’s no guarantee someone wouldn’t harbor evil intentions.

"I also don’t know what will happen when she wakes up. Chenfeng was also seriously injured at the time. These two kids have had a tough time," Jiao Ling said as she started to cry.

Bai Ruozhu quickly hugged her aunt’s shoulder and said softly, "Aunt, don’t worry. I’ll be here keeping an eye on things. Lanlan won’t have any issues if she wakes up. If there’s any danger, you control the Poisonous Insect, and I’ll find a way to suppress Wu Wanqing. Sooner or later, we’ll find a way to drive Wu Wanqing out of her body!"

Jiao Ling nodded, "With you back, I feel more secure. You must be tired from your journey, so rest quickly, and we’ll check on Lanlan’s condition tomorrow."

Bai Ruozhu was about to rest, but then saw Nanny Zhang coming over, hesitatingly standing there for a long time before finally asking, "Madam, where did the young masters go?"

Bai Ruozhu knew she was truly worried about Dengdeng and the others, and said in a low voice, "I’ve sent them to a safe place. I’ll bring them back after a while, or I’ll send you to take care of them."

Nanny Zhang finally felt at ease hearing this, "Alright then, I won’t disturb Madam’s rest."
